What's Wrong?

When running claude --resume from a project directory, the picker shows sessions from completely unrelated projects in other directories.

What Should Happen?

The resume picker should only show sessions from the current project (or at least the current git repo), not sessions from every project on the machine.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. cd ~/projects/project_a
  2. claude
  3. /exit
  4. cd ~/projects/project_b
  5. claude --resume
  6. Picker lists the conversation from project_a

Additional Information

project_a and project_b are separate git repos with different remotes. The default view of the resume picker should be scoped to the current project. The "Ctrl+A to show all projects" option exists, which implies the default view is supposed to be project-scoped — but it isn't.
